Percy Jackson: SECRETS

Percy:

Hey did you know it sucks keeping secrets? Well most people think it's great to have secrets, well let me tell you something. NO IT IS NOT. Especially if one of your best friends is suffering from it. Then again we were all suffering, but Thalia was the worst. Nico, Thalia, and I were the ones who shared this terrible secret alone. Lately, we've been having the same dreams to. This tends to get a little annoying when things get personal, like the other night I was dreaming that Annabeth and I were kissing and well you get the picture. And let's just say the next day I could tell that Nico and Thalia had knew what had happened in my dream, and things were kind of awkward.

So, as I was saying we have had the same dreams, and most of the time there only about one person. Kronos. Yes, you heard me. He's been tormenting me and my cousins for months on end, ever since he was defeated. I don't know how long it had been since the war had ended; I wasn't keeping track of the days, but I would say it had been a little over two years. We tried telling Chiron, but he wouldn't listen. We even tried contacting the gods, but they said that if Kronos had come back that fast they would have known. So, now I was sitting at my table at the dining pavilion, sleepy and miserable, waiting for Capture the Flag to start.

"Hey, Percy." Thalia said, approaching. Okay, I know what you're thinking. Isn't Thalia a Hunter of Artemis? Yes. The hunters were staying here for awhile because Artemis (and all the other gods and goddesses) were out searching the world for the minor godlings that had switched to the titans side. I would hate to see what happened to them.

"Hey, Thalia you okay?" I how I said Thalia was getting the worst out of this. Well, last night Kronos showed us all a picture of Luke. He said that Luke was alive, but he was in unbearable pain and that he would be showing up sometime today. Thalia woke up crying so much that she moved into Zeus's cabin and stayed there trying not to wake up any campers. But all though no one heard her Nico and I did. I stayed with her while Nico went to the Underworld and checked to see if Luke was actually alive. By the time he got back my shirt was soaked with Thalia's tears. I could jump into the ocean and come out completely dry, but I wasn't resistant to tears, go figure. Anyway, Nico came back and said that Luke was most definitely alive. He probably knew that the whole time, but with everything we've been through the past couple years, checking just to see if your right wouldn't hurt.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just don't talk about it." Thalia stuttered and almost, just almost started crying again but she swallowed back the tears. You must be wondering, isn't a Hunter of Artemis supposed to care less about boys? Correct, but the thing is Thalia has feelings for Luke. I just recently figured that out. Who knew? I don't think anyone did, not even Annabeth. And the real reason Thalia joined the hunters is to try and forget Luke. Honestly, I don't think that was Thalia's best move and honestly I'm thinking Artemis is going to be losing one of her hunters very, very soon.

"Okay, whatever." I agreed.

"Percy, do you think he'll show up? Do you think he's really in pain? What if he is? Oh Percy, what if he had to go through the same thing we did?" Just the mention of that subject made tears form at the corners of her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away.

"Don't worry. I honestly don't know what's going to happen, but Nico and I will be there for you all the way." Wow, that was cheesy.

"Thank you," She said just as Annabeth walked up. "I'll . . . leave you too alone."

"Thalia, you don't have to go!" Annabeth said, calling after her. And being Thalia, she pretended not to hear.

"She probably didn't hear you." I said, standing up.

"Why does she always leave, when I'm with you?" She asked, frowning.

"Because she probably doesn't want to see her best friend being kissed by her cousin." I told her, which of course made her smile.

"But we aren't kissing yet." She said.

"Yet." I said, and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer.

"Thalia is definitely not going to come back, now." She said right before our lips met. She intertwined her finger behind my neck, while I knotted my fingers in her hair. Pretty much everyone knew about me and Annabeth, and let's just say we weren't the most boring topic in camp. So, kissing in front of everyone was probably not a good idea, but who cares. I think I could of stayed like that forever, but Chiron blew the horn that meant we had to get ready for Capture the Flag.

"See you soon." Annabeth said breaking away. I watched her leave and then shook off my totally 'appropriate' feelings and made my way down to the forest like everyone else. Well, time to play Capture the Flag. 'Be careful boy, surprises await you.' Kronos voice said in my mind, but I just shook it off and kept walking.
